US researchers demonstrated a 13-mile open-air quantum link in New York, sending photon-based quantum states through the atmosphere from Stony Brook to Brookhaven using free-space optics and adaptive optics to preserve entanglement; the test adds a wireless dimension to quantum networks and could support satellite links without relying on fiber.
Newsday reports that most of Long Island’s enclosed malls are being redeveloped to boost foot traffic and sales, with new layouts, a heavier emphasis on dining and entertainment, and a shift toward open-air formats and mixed-use components. Timelines and specifics vary by property as developers reposition anchors and bring in diverse tenants to create more experience-focused destinations.
Archaeologists at the Halibee open-air site in Ethiopia’s Afar Rift uncovered thousands of stone tools and diverse animal bones dating to about 100,000 years ago, plus three human remains whose fates differ: one appears rapidly buried with intact skeleton, a second shows signs of charring, and a third bears perimortem carnivore damage. The findings suggest episodic occupation of a rich landscape by early Homo sapiens and highlight complex interactions with fauna in an open savannah, challenging the cave-centric view of ancient behavior.
